I posted the same request in the Brush Restoration Section at the top of the Shaving Brush Section of the Forum. No advice from there so far. Thought I would try my fellow brush lovers in this section and hopefully have better luck.
My Savile Row 3120 was dropped and a piece chipped out of the lower edge of the handle. It is a very small cavity but the piece that could have been glued back disappeared. The hole is no more than a quarter inch wide by an eighth of an inch deep. I need to fill it with a like colored material, allow it to harden and cure, then smooth and shape it with my dremel. Hopefully it can then be buffed to a similar finish. Even if the coloration is not a perfect match, it will be a welcome relief to have it restored to a comfortable, usable appearance. The handle of course is an imitation ivory.
Any kits, materials. tips or advice would be appreciated. I've got a kit from Hobby Lobby that I can use which pours clear into molds (making buttons etc.) If I don't find a better method in the next day or so I will color the mixture and fill the hole with it.
